More detail on an old thread....

The robotic tuna is in the March 95 Scientific American, even on the cover. It
is a pretty interesting article on fluid flow and how fins should work. The
tuna, it turns out, is not made of any new electroMuscle, memory plastic or
metal; it's just a flexble frame covered in sheets of foam, with pulleys and
cables inside. It is not free-swimming, but rather mounted in a tunnel.
